Motorcycle and parent company Polaris Industries will be on-hand
throughout the event to engage with motorcycling enthusiasts as the

Must-See: Indian Summit Press Conference –
Friday, January 18, 4:30 p.m.Motorcycling fans
throughout the New York Tri-State area are cordially invited to take
part in the must-see event of show — the “Indian Summit” press
conference featuring celebrity panelist Mike Wolfe, creator of “American
Pickers” and “Antique Archaeology.” Wolfe and top executives from Indian
Motorcycle will inform and entertain motorcycle fans and members of the
press about everything from Mike’s favorite picks to the company’s
exciting plans for the upcoming launch of the all-new Indian Motorcycle —one of the most anticipated and historic events in motorcycling
history. The press conference takes place at 4:30 p.m. at The Podium
venue on the show floor, and is free and open to anyone attending the
show. Mike Wolfe will also be pressing the flesh and signing autographs
at the “Indian Motorcycle Experience” exhibit on the show floor
following the Indian Summit on Friday and from noon to 1:00 p.m. on
Saturday.

Must Experience: “Indian Motorcycle Experience”The
all-new “Indian Motorcycle Experience” exhibit highlights the brand’s
many historic milestones and achievements and features a collection of
rarely seen vintage motorcycles and military vehicles, including an
exact replica of the Floyd Emde Indian “Big Base” Scout that rode to a
dominating victory in the Daytona 200 beach race in 1948. Also on-hand
will be the 1935 Indian Chief fully restored by Mike Wolfe and recently
featured on “American Pickers.” The display also features a sound booth
where attendees can experience firsthand the awe-inspiring sound and
power of the upcoming, completely redesigned Indian Motorcycle engine.

Must Hear: Firing up the Munro Special (and the
crowd)Making a very rare appearance on the East Coast,
the Indian Motorcycle exhibit will prominently feature the original Burt
Munro 1920 Indian Scout (the Munro Special) that broke the under-1000cc
land-speed record in 1967 at the Bonneville Salt Flats as famously
portrayed in the movie “The World’s Fastest Indian.” Show attendees and
members of the press won’t want to miss the opportunity to stop by and
listen as the Munro Special — perhaps the most famous and most valuable
motorcycle in industry history — is fired up to a deafening roar at the
following times throughout the weekend:

Friday at 2:00 p.m.

Saturday at 10:30 a.m., 12:00 noon, 2:30 p.m., 5:00 p.m.

Sunday at 10:30 a.m., 12:00 noon, 2:00 p.m.

“We’ve got something for everyone this weekend at IMS-New York, and show
attendees will definitely want to take part in the Indian Summit press
conference and consumer event on Friday to learn more about what’s
coming down the road as we prepare to re-launch the original American
motorcycle brand,” said Polaris Vice President of Motorcycles Steve
Menneto. “Our team is chartered with capturing the heart and soul of a
legendary 112-year old motorcycle brand and then forging that essence
into the industry’s most stunning new motorcycle line, and we are well
on our way to achieving that goal. Everyone who loves motorcycles and

category is just over the horizon.”
